For all you IT nuts out there, check out the latest cisco blog by cisco Matt – one to watch, for sure.

A few days back, searching for an online magazine, I came across this website advertising a goalkeeper magazine. I immediately got a flashback from when I was a kid, and was the goalkeeper for one of the two teams in my old neighborhood. Oh man, those were the days – get up in the morning, grab something to eat – and out on the streets with dozens of other kids, playing all sorts of games, and specifically football. Football was sort of the main event. And I was a goalkeeper for one of the teams. I remember a game when we ended up having penalty shootouts, and I managed to save 3 penalties thus providing a victory for my team. I was praised for days after that! Ah, those childhood memories….

Haven’t blogged in a while. This was supposed to be one of those regular things that I’d update weekly or even daily. Ha!

Life intervened.

Anyway, art lover that I am, something I saw recently woke me from my blogging slumber. Lovely video for a fine production, The Hired Man, which played at Bolton’s Octagon Theatre, just north of Manchester.

I was introduced to the production by ivideoproduction, friends of a friend Mark Attwood. Sometimes the arts can rejuvenate you so much!

Art lover that I am, I’ll be visiting my local art gallery this weekend, which is exhibiting an interesting display of cardboard shapes, created from soaking them in watery glue and letting street debris cling to them naturally. The idea is to represent the chaotic mix of urban modernity, the underbelly of the city, and the sad and generally ignored fall out of what we today call social “progress”.

I hope to write about that soon!
